It was reported back in April that power couple was looking into purchasing the team.

The pair were reportedly working with J.P. Morgan to raise the funds needed.



A-Rod and J-Lo's net worth is reportedly around $700 million.

Back in December, the Wilpon family had a deal to sell the Mets to hedge fund titan Steve Cohen for $2.6 billion, but the deal fell apart.

Cohen is once again the leading contender to buy the Mets, and could reach a deal within days.

It is expected the deal, if finalized, would give him immediate control of the team.
